how much peril do you think there is for mitt romney? >> he's weak on foreign policy. and he flubbed his lines with benghazi and trying to make a big deal about what the president meant when he said bumps in the road is desperate. and i suspect the romney campaign is just as keen for the u.n. session to be over as the obama camp. they don't want to make too much news and expose their candidate's frailties in this area. >> one of the big criticisms we've heard about the president is that he was elected with the expectation that he would be this transformational president and part of that transformation would be the relationships that he would build with foreign leaders and his critics have said pretty harshly that this would be a president who has not yet developed personal relationships that can sometimes define a strong foreign policy. why? >> that is a criticism you hear from some of president obama's admirers and friend, that he doesn't make that connection not only with foreign leaders, but with congressional leaders. that he's a little too remote. that there hasn'

the romney memo says that mitt romney will not raise taxes on anyone and that he will deliver tax cuts for the middle class. sounds pretty good, but the brookings tax policy center took a look at this issue, and here is what they found. under mitt romney 95% of americans making under $200,000 would have a tax increase averaging $2,000 while the wealthiest americans would see tax cuts of up to $86,000 per year. and his claim that he can give the wealthy those tax breaks and still close the deficit, that claim is mathematically impossible according to the tax policy center. romney's fuzzy math has put his surrogates in a bit of a tough spot. here is paul ryan trying to explain the impossible on fox us in yesterday. >> how much does that cost? >> it's revenue neutral. >> it's not revenue neutral unless you take away deductions. and we'll get to that. the first half lowering the tax rates does that cost $5 trillion -- >> no. >> you haven't given me the math. >> oh, it would take me too long to go through the math. >> come on i don't have the time to tell you how the math works. then he fol

governor romney today blasting the president's foreign policy and his handling of the economy. >> with incomes going down, every year going down, down, down, and prices of electricity up and health insurance up and the cost of gasoline having doubled, these are tough times even for families with jobs. i know what it takes to get this economy going again. i care about the people of america, and the difference between me and president obama is i know what to do, and i will do what it takes to get this economy going. [cheers and applause] arthel: the real clear politics polling average has president obama leading by more than 5% in ohio, about 49 to 44. senior national correspondent john roberts is live in westerville, ohio, where i'm told governor romney turned up the star power, right, john? >> reporter: he certainly did, arthel. he brought golf legend jack nicklaus today, a local guy. he's also a small businessman, and nicklaus told a story of how his small, family-owned company has fallen on economic hard times. he is set to lay off 50% of his staff and cut salaries by as much as 50 p

and i think that's because the american people have started to focus on his policies. the fact he would provide a $5 trillion tax cut to the wealthiest americans, that he'd repeal wall street reform and the affordable care act and replace it with nothing. they're starting to focus on his policies and the choice is starting to crystallize as election day approaches. >> our poll only had the president by one point, so you are correct, although that is margin of error. tara, is this good news from north carolina enough for you or are you still very worried that there are several key states, which you must win. or you're not running that close according to the latest polls? >> first off, there was a nice pivot by ben, but president obama won north carolina last time around and i think it should give them pause, but when you look at these polls and i've said this before, we expect this to be very tight. down to election day. in these battleground states across the country, so i think that you know, what you're saying is that bounce that president obama had coming out of the
